| I have been working out in my gardens the past weekend. Time to get the weeds out and the seeds in. I think we are finally passed the frost warnings. (Let's hope so.) Peonies have started to bloom.. When we moved to our present home, we brought a couple of the peony plants we had. They never did as well as they have done here. |
 |
| The plants are huge. They get plenty of sun, and no real care. |
 |
| The "Three Amigos" come to visit every day. They come for dinner each evening. |
 |
| Found this unique black petunia at the nursery center. It needed a home in my garden. |
 |
| White columbine. |
 |
| Lupine, I think these are so pretty. |
 |
| Rhododendron, that we brought back from Buffalo, New York a few years back. At the time, no one was selling these in our area. I had seen them in bloom in Buffalo, and wanted one. Good thing we drive there every year. It is in a protected area in the front of the house, and does very well. |
 |
| I have a few wildflowers too, like this Solomon's Seal. (Another transplant from New York.) |
 |
| Wild Bachelor buttons. |
 |
| Blue Columbine. I don't have a big garden. It really is several small gardens. I have been packed with plants. Some things reseed themselves. I do plant annual seeds as well. I always seem to purchase more then I need, and they don't all get planted. This year, I dumped all old seeds in a bag, and have now planted them. It will be interesting to see if any come up. I love zinnas and had even dried seeds. I planted them as well. You just never know what will come up. I love color in my garden. The more the better. It one is good, lots is better. Have a great flowery day. Mary |

Dear Mary, your garden is so beautiful!!! And of course I like your peonies the most! What kind of peony is it on the very first picture?
what a beautiful garden you have you must share what comes up from your mixture of seeds.
YOU found some black pansies....aren't they amazing and your peonies are already opened..ours are still buds....
everything looks lovely Mary..
Your flowers are gorgeous. I'm with Margaret, I really want to see what comes up from the seed mixture. I never thought of doing that; what a good idea. Of course, my house is where plants come to die, so I should probably just give up. lol
What a great time of the year! Everything looks so pretty.
Beautiful flowers! Our peony is huge - I need to get out and get some pictures before it's too late.
Very pretty! I've been working in my garden too! Fortunately, Oregon is better for growing things than Texas is. While visiting a friend, she had a Solomon's Seal plant - the first time I had ever seen one. I really want to get one of those for my yard. She said her's comes up every spring. I also have one peony plant that I just got. I hope it does well. It was starting to open just as we left on this trip to VA. Good luck with your seeds. I haven't had much luck, but hope my morning glory seeds sprout.
Your flowers are just gorgeous and that black petunia is so unique...I want one!
So beautiful Mary - I'm hoping to work out in my yard this week! blessings, marlene
Well that is such a pretty collection of blooms! I too love lupines, as well as many other favorites you have pictured here. It is so neat to see your pretty flowers blooming, makes me want to spend more time in my garden.... ohhh, someday I will have the most beautiful garden, but for now, I am too busy growing kids..LOL! Thanks for the inspiration Mary.
Love love your flowers!!
Your garden flowers are beautiful! Love the three amigos, too.
